Carving letters and numbers into wood is one of my favorite projects. Although many wood species can be chip carved, beginners will have the best luck with basswood, knot-free pine or poplar.

HIGH QUALITY BLOCK - The basswood carving blocks are made of premium quality basswood, an ideal wood for many woodcarvers, which is soft, fine, even texture and pale color, make it easy to work with.
